Wow!!
How did that get there?
Wouldn't that be something!? Would they be left where they are or taken home and given a burial on German soil?
"Until this week, proof of a sunken Nazi submarine in Labrador was confined to old rumours of dark shadows in the Churchill River.I wonder if there are/were bodies in it.
The stories go back decades, suggesting that German U-boats had snaked along the river bottom and deep into Labrador.
Now newly released sonar images depicting a mysterious submerged shape near Happy Valley-Goose Bay have generated excitement among those who believe the old tales and skepticism among those who don’t."

I understand that German navy tradition is to leave the sunken ships where they are, bodies included.
But what if it is one of the active Nazi U-boats? Going back and forth from Antarctic? You know, where the Nazi secret UFO bases and stuff are...
Well. That's a well kept secret. I haven't heard of Nazi UFO bases in the Antarctic.
Like Snoopy said. Also, it's the British tradition that sunken British (or sunken enemy ships in British waters)are legally classed as War Graves, subject to the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. Nobody but RN divers may go near them.
That's been the US position also. Even the USS Arizona, down less than a hundred feet in Pearl Harbor, with the remains of around 1,100 seamen aboard, is never dived upon or near but by official divers. (In fact, in the sole exception to that policy, the USS Arizona's crew survivors who died after the war, their cremated remains in urns are allowed to be placed aboard the Arizona, placed aboard by official divers in an official Navy funeral service, with Taps being played on the Arizona Memorial and a US flag given to their next of kin.)
